[pct-l] Risk Taking

[Reinhold Metzger]

Greg,
Warner Spring Monty is a mere amateur when it comes to the "Couch to 
Frig" Yo Yo.
He requires 3-4 gulps to down a can of  "BUD"......way to time consuming!!!
To be a serious record contender you must be able to down the whole can 
in one big gulp.
As far as the JMT,  August - September 2009.
Well, time for another "Couch to Frig" Yo Yo to get into top JMT shape.
